Dutch Research Council (NWO) Opportunities

Round 3 has a €3.145 million funding ceiling. The maximum grant is calculated from an €84,000 annual base amount adjusted by host-country correction coefficient and FTE, plus €276 per month for research costs. Eligible travel costs are also supported. The final grant is a contribution toward salary, research and travel costs and may not cover every cost.

At the Round 3 deadline, applicants must generally have obtained their PhD no more than one year earlier or be completing the PhD with supervisor approval confirming expected completion before the project starts. Applicants must demonstrate the required scientific link to the Netherlands through an eligible PhD-awarding research organization. A Rubicon application can normally be submitted only once. Additional mobility, host-institution and extension conditions in the call apply.
